Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Is he trying to slip to Port at 12?

You mean Gould?

Yes, that's who he means

I really think that clubs can cut their noses off to spite their face over “character concerns” sometimes.

Yeah, tend to agree. And a teenager who isn't in a full time professional sporting environment enjoying a drink/sneaky KFC here and there isn't exactly a character issue.

I would look at Gould and think imagine how good he could be when his physique is transformed as a professional.

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Gould doesn't look anywhere near 108kgs to me. 98 more likely.

I sort of hope he ballooned out after the GF as T&T seems to think as his combine results were that poor at least that might explain why

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Players I would consider in the mix for us at pick 13 and there is no shortage of options for us.
This is not in any particular order

Dylan Stephens - 183cm, 74kg - Quick and versatile midfielder who's acceleration at contests is eye catching. Performed exceptionally well at the combine testing at the elite level in sprints, agility and endurance. Wins his own football and is a steady but not spectacular kick

Brodie Kemp - 192.4cm, 88.6kg - One of the more versatile players in the draft and capable of playing forward, back and as a big bodied midfielder. An ACL injury this year is unlikely to slow interest in him even though it will curtail much of his 2020 season.
Kemp is a good mover and strong mark

Liam Henry - 180cm, 67.7kg - Smart small forward who is lightning quick and damaging with his kicking. Another who suffered from a knee injury but not before he impressed everyone at the National Carnival. He can join Fremantle as an NGA player and I'd expect any bid to be matched.

Deven Robertson - 184.4cm, 80.7kg - Larke medal winner this year and possesses all the skills and attributes to succeed at the senior level. Wins his own ball and uses it well. More than capable of playing significant senior football next year and is also highly regarded for his leadership skills

Luke Jackson - 198.9cm, 93.9kg - Developing ruckman who's had an impressive season. He competes well in the air and is surprisingly good when the ball is on the ground. He would be regarded as a slightly smaller but far more mobile option as a ruckman but that shouldn't scare clubs off because he also possess a great leaping ability. Will need to develop his forward craft

Fischer McAsey - 196.6cm, 91kg - In a draft lacking genuine key position players McAsey should be highly sort after. He's a mobile key defender who can move forward when required. He's a good mark and moves very well for his size.

Will Gould - 191.6cm, 105.9kg - Gould capped off a great season by winning the SANFL premiership with Glenelg. He's an aggressive player who takes the game on and is a very good decision maker by foot regularly hitting his targets. Combine results raise concerns about his endurance level but that doesn't seem to be an issue for him in actual games.

Josh Worrell - 194.7cm, 83.2kg - A versatile key position player who athletic and agile. Shoulder injury stopped his season but he's done more than enough to be a consideration around our pick this year

Jeremy Sharp - 188.9cm, 80.7cm - Consistent performer for WA this year, Sharp is highly versatile and very athletic
He is a long kicking midfielder who tested exceptionally well at the Combine. Has a great balance of pace and skills

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

After reading OP thoughts on Gould I watched the highlights video and at that level looks the goods.
I just wonder if he can step up a couple of levels in the big time. He won't have time and space like now, can he push himself to go further. Does look ready made.

Thanks, I question what player we are after , we picked up Keath would we target Gould now ?
Has the club come out and said what type of player we are after or do we take who we think is next best and not worry about the type of player they are ?

If we go to the draft, we pick the next best available player. Could be big, small, fast, doesn't matter as long as he is the best available.
